Explores the narrow gauge and miniature railways that are found hidden
away in some of the most beautiful parts of the country. The author
describes ten feature lines with the aid of photography. Whilst lines
such as the Ffestiniog Railway are now run purely as tourist
attractions, there are still working lines like the Romney, Hythe and
Dymchurch Railways which ferry customers along the South Coast of Kent.
Whatever the purpose, all the lines are peopled by fascinating
characters, the majority of whom are volunteers. pp. 192 illusts
